“National data shows that Black girls are 5.5 times more likely to be suspended from school than white girls——

Hmmm !

I wonder why that is?

The dress code ban on hair extensions seems clear and easily understood.

[chris37]

Maybe they should learn to conduct themselves properly within a civilized society then.

Obviously, the author has never heard Black girls talk.

A policy against braids?!? In a world of full of stupid things happening with & in schools, this may be the dumbest.

"National data shows that Black girls are 5.5 times more likely to be suspended from school than white girls, and that rate balloons to 8.5 times in my own state of New Jersey.

A statistic that doesn't mean what they want people to think it does.

Leftists are always ready to seize on ANY “outlier” incident like this one to merge it into general statistics and claim massive “bias.” Meanwhile everyone knows Black girls and boys are suspended at higher rates because of behavior and violence issues.

Well, Bonnie, a critically thinking Black girl would conclude that it pays to "act White", was that hard?

In addition to being a racist hatemonger, Demonicrat Bonnie Watson Coleman is also a liar! There is no prohibition against braids. The prohibition is against hair extensions. As noted in the school's May 12, 2017, letter to parents, " It is agreed to by all students and parents through the compact that is signed each year."

The School's Parent/School Handbook states (p. 17):

HAIR/ MAKE-UP Students must keep their hair neat and out of their eyes. Students may not wear drastic or unnatural hair colors or styles such as shaved lines or shaved sides or have a hairstyle that could be distracting to other students (extra-long hair or hair more than 2 inch in thickness or height is not allowed). This means no coloring, dying, lightening (sun-in) or streaking of any sort. Hair extensions are not allowed. Hair elastics must be worn in the hair and not on the wrist. No make-up of any sort is allowed. Nail polish or artificial nails are not allowed. Tattoos are not allowed. Students are not allowed to write or draw on themselves. Bandanas or hats are not allowed during school hours. Headbands may be worn, but must be functional in nature and not worn over the forehead. Facial hair is not allowed. Unshaven young men will receive a warning in the first instance and detentions thereafter.

BTW, celebrating the upcoming anniversary of Al Jolson’s birthday (May 26) is probably pretty boring at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School.

The same school rules do not allow Whites to wear blackface makeup while at school.

Black girls are 5.5 times more likely to be involved in hallway fights and in teacher assaults. You cannot take a single statistic out of contest and build a credible narrative.

Oh my gosh. I remember talking to someone who taught at a Headstart center, mostly very poor black kids. The boys were mostly fine. The girls, however, were constantly at each others’ throats - drama all day, every day. This was preschool kids.
